Pneumatic deicing device for breaking and removing an ice deposit accumulated on the outer surface of an aircraft

Abstract

A pneumatic deicing device () is provided for breaking and removing an ice deposit accumulated on the outer surface () of an aircraft, in particular on an airplane wing. The device () includes an outer layer () intended to withstand the outside environment, an inner interface layer () intended to be connected to the outer surface () of the aircraft, and at least two outer () and inner () intermediate layers connected to one another by an array of stitches () so as to define deicing chambers () that can be inflated quickly to cause a mechanical action to break the ice. The outer intermediate layer () includes a knit textile layer (). At least one interlayer () made from polar elastomer material is arranged above the knit textile layer () and immediately in contact with the outer layer () and the knit textile layer ().
